Two new maps for Valve's Team Fortress 2 will hopefully arrive within the next two months, the studio has informed Shacknews.

One of the new arenas is a remake of Team Fortress Classic's Badlands map, with an emphasis on more vertically-oriented gameplay due to the presence of control points on towering spires.

"Our estimate is that both these maps should be out within the next 2 months," Valve employee Robin Walker told Shacknews. "We expect to ship other new content before that."

Update:

Valve's Robin Walker has clarified that the new maps will definitely hit the PC, but are undecided for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Team Fortress 2, which are only available in The Orange Box.

hell ya. 2fort is always a stalemate. and id like a little bit of an accuracy upage for the heavy, and a reduction in power for the soldier. damn rockets are too powerful imo. or at least up the damage they do to the soldier for rocket jumps and what not.

I haven't played UT3, but I can tell you I've enjoyed TF2 about as much as COD4. If you want heavily team-based games in which you really have to work together, TF2 is better. If you want to be a bit more individual, go for COD4. One thing that might tip the balance for you is that I've found TF2 MUCH more susceptible to lag.

i have all three. CoD:4 and OB for PC, and UT3 for ps3. im addicted as hell to TF:2. ive played CoD:4 once, felt it was slightly average, and havent played it again. UT3 ive been having lag issues with so i havent played much.

i hope they put the new maps on the 360 and PS3 and put a new vote system in so you dont vote for the map you just played on because i am getting so p*ssed off with having to play 2fort over and over again.
